AArch64: add stubs to support long function calls on MCJIT
As with global accesses, external functions could exist anywhere in memory. Therefore the stub must create a complete 64-bit address. This patch implements the fragment as (roughly): movz x16, #:abs_g3:somefunc movk x16, #:abs_g2_nc:somefunc movk x16, #:abs_g1_nc:somefunc movk x16, #:abs_g0_nc:somefunc br x16 In principle we could save 4 bytes by using a literal-load instead, but it is unclear that would be more efficient and can only be tested when real hardware is readily available. This allows (for example) the MCJIT test 2003-05-07-ArgumentTest to pass on AArch64. llvm-svn: 181133
